Lemur Politics - Page 2

Ringtail Lemurs are one of the more resilient of the Lemur Species and she is expected to make a full recovery assuming her wounds do not get infected. For this reason we obviously have her on antibiotics. As we speak, the day after her Vet visit, this female is up and around eating and exploring her “off exhibit” indoor air-conditioned enclosure with 24/7 observations. David and I will keep her indoors until her wounds heal 100%. After she heals we will slowly reintroduce her over a few weeks back into the troop via a “Howdy Cage”. This Howdy Cage is basically a side by habitat that allows visual, auditory and ollifactory (Scent) contact over time without the risk of physical injury to any of the troop. David and I both have been through this many times and fully anticipate ALL of the Ringtail Lemurs to get along perfectly in the near future. As with humans, politics are constantly changing on a day-to-day basis and Lemur Politics are no exception to this rule. These types of Antagonistic Behavior is a risk we take at the Tiger Homes Sanctuary by providing large naturalistic and Social Habitats for the animals in our care and not just small bland cages with no Social Stimulation. In the wild this lemur would in most cases have been either killed directly from her wounds or via latter infection or in the best scenario banned from her troop temporarily or even permanently.

I hope you found this interesting. David and I hope you all have the time to view the numerous Animal Cams set up in our White Tiger Habitat, Golden Tiger Habitat, Lion Habitat, Leopard Habitat and our multiple Lemur Habitats including the rascal and Political Ringtail Lemurs.
